Baby and spoon; more acquisitions


I am fascinated with tiny baby figures. Spoons are beginning to interest me, too, but this is not so long standing as the baby thing. I have been toying with the idea of standing the baby in the bowl of the spoon, and suspending the spoon within a hollowed-book shadow box.

Somewhere (note to self, find and add it here...) I have the preliminary images for a pregnancy/ childbirth collage. The general idea being ambivalence towards maternity/pregnancy, domesticity, the absolute and not benevolent tyranny with which children (or the concept of capital-M-Motherhood) rule their mothers.
